While sometimes needling Bush, Fox applauds his onetime American counterpart for "cultural sensitivity." Several days before the attacks of Sept. 11, Fox writes, he and Bush hugged at Andrews Air Force Base after returning on Air Force One from an Ohio immigration reform rally.

"We're going to get this done," Fox recalls Bush saying.

Well, if he could have done something before 9/11 it would have been much better. I would be willing to bet that most of the illegals in the U.S. came here after 2001. Certainly it was not an issue in the 2000 campaign, even among Republicans. The problem has gotten several times worse since 2001. Bush was preocupied with the war on terror while we were invaded here at home.

Several days before the attacks of Sept. 11, Fox writes, he and Bush hugged at Andrews Air Force Base after returning on Air Force One from an Ohio immigration reform rally.

"We're going to get this done," Fox recalls Bush saying.

Fox felt like "the toast of Washington," and Bush's enthusiasm, along with promising talks with congressional leaders, had the new Mexican president believing that "passage of the immigration reform package was in the bag."

Three days later, planes smashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and "our revolution of hope came face to face with the walls of fear," Fox writes.

Despite the failure of immigration reform, Fox praises Bush for his "depth of knowledge about Mexican immigrants." Bush sees Mexican immigrants and U.S. citizens as "human beings of equal worth in the eyes of God," according to an advance copy of the English-language book.

What utter barf. "human beings of equal worth in the eyes of God," . . . "our revolution of hope came face to face with the walls of fear,"

Yea, unless you are a "immigrant" trying to cross into southern mexico at which time you are a "rifle target."

Bush is a masochist — he loves it when Vincente spanks him.

Equal in the eyes of God, but NOT equal under the U.S. Constitution or U.S. laws.

As the article suggest, several days “before” 911, Bush assured Fox, We’d get-r-done.

The agenda for open borders existed before he even took office. This would be a betrayal of his conservative base and to the sovereignty of the U.S.

If he had been pre-occupied with the war on terror, he would have secured the borders. It's the equivalent of the middle ages - if your castle comes under attack, you don't leave the gate down for a long time after it starts.

People need to understand....this is NOT just about Bush’s policies. This is about a network of globalist directing policy.

CFR
Tri-lateralist
Bilderburgs

There is indeed a drive toward an American Union. Years ago, one would be ridiculed as a tin-foil nut. Now, it’s common knowledge, even in the MSM.

Several congressman have submitted bills to force the Administration to explain it’s unilateral actions in regards to SPP, Nafta superhighway, Mexican trucker pilot program and so on.

It’s no longer a conspiracy theory.....it’s reality.
